Oh, I forgot something quite important.
For the official libraries (listed on the nativeacces.xml) you can use R2R's Kontakt tool. It arranges this stuff for you. It doesn't break anything on other versions.
So for instance in your case it would've fixed all the libs except for the Sonart Audio one.

 

Kontakt runs on a highly optimized win10 machine (never connected to internet). It's the fixed 7.1.3 (not 7.3.1 as was quoted originally) iso from R2R. It has just always worked and never saw any need to "update" it since it has been flawless up to now..

Native Instruments Kontakt 7.1.3 Unlocked (Fixed)-r4e

If you want to run this version I would suggest a complete purging of anything Kontakt from the system. It uses the original NI installer and runs like a fully licensed app. It doesn't install nativeaccess, but it does install the .XML. It also has all the "telemetry" disabled which I guess would be helpful if one were to insist the host machine be internet connected. As stated previously in an instance where a newer versioned NI app gets installed the nativeaccess.xml might need to be updated in order for that app to function properly, but I have noticed that most scene released upgrades include the proper nativeaccess.xml if needed anyway... so no worries really.

...from the .nfo
"Features:
+ VSTi, Standalone and AAX are cracked / unlocked.
+ You're able to edit password protected / locked scripts.
+ You're able to edit & save protected patches.
+ You can load any library, also custom creations."

Nope, never used "Sonart Audio". I have had to make NICNT files before with some lib's on previous kontakt versions up thru the years. I have never used portable versions of any kontakt, only full. But any of those lib's still in use just migrated over seamlessly to a FULL K7 version. I guess the heavy lifting had already been done and they added into K7 naturally. Maybe I just got lucky. Admittedly I dont have many lib's that are ancient but as I said there are a couple that have home-brew NICNT's (that were running on previous instance/versions of kontakt before installing K7 exclusively) and even some home brew library graphics that had to be adjusted a bit to display properly in K7 but that's about the extent of it.
